Technical Sheet and FAQ
What makes the Judean Hills unique?
The combination of terra rossa and limestone soils, together with the Mediterranean sea breeze hitting the mountains, creates a cool microclimate ideal for wines meant for cellaring with high acidity.
Why choose a Non-Mevushal wine like Elyone?
By avoiding the heat process, the wine keeps its natural enzymes and phenolic compounds intact, allowing it to evolve and improve over the years in the cellar, which is vital for a premium blend.
Is it suitable for vegetarians?
Yes, the fining processes at Nadiv are carried out under Kosher standards that do not use prohibited animal by-products, making it suitable for a vegan/vegetarian lifestyle.
